Profile of My Pretty Girl

It’s been awhile since I posted a photo of Maya. Maya and I were sitting on the balcony- she looking for bugs to catch, while I was trying…

Celine Dion Tribute Band: Keyboardist

I found my shots to be lacking in ‘movement.’ They just didn’t feel very lively. At least in this second shot there was some motion to the image….

Celine Dion Tribute Band: Guitarists

I also found it difficult to get sharp images of the guitar players as they kept moving. 

Celine Dion Tribute Band: Gina

I found it very difficult to take a good photo of Gina singing. Her mouth is open a lot (she is singing) and I always seemed to capture…

Cormorants by Dad

My Dad took this photo. He asked if he could see my new camera. I was showing him some of the buttons when this bird started putting it’s…

Vibrant!

I shoot in RAW as opposed to JPEG. RAW is the uncompressed, unprocessed image out of the camera. You have to bring it into a software progam (like…

Things Are Looking Up

Lady of the Lake

The last of the Scarecrow People thanked us for stopping by and saying hi. I wouldn’t mind sitting on the bench and hanging out with that guy for…

Scarecrow People: Working in the Field

These scarecrow people actually looked pretty real if you didn’t know they were fake. I think it’s a fun way to decorate while also keeping animals/birds away from…

Scarecrow People: Flower Girl

With all the green in the background I really liked the Black Eyed Susans in the foreground. 

Scarecrow People

Somewhere in the Berkshires are these scarecrow people. They are pretty cool looking. I was taking the first picture when I thought I caught a glimpse of someone…

Ice Glen Trail: Walkways

It had rained the night before so some of the rocks were pretty slippery. It made it a little more adventurous trying to navigate the ravine. I really…

Ice Glen Trail: The Ravine

“The trail proceeds easily up the slope, weaving around the occasional old giant tree that has fallen by wind and time. Just before the half-mile mark, Laura’s Tower…

Ice Glen Trail: Into the Woods

After our leisurely hike along Mary Flynn Trail we headed for the Ice Glen Trail. To get there you cross over the railroad tracks and head up into…
